But we’re most excited about a new capability: integration with CloudAhoy!

Like many of our pilot customers, we love CloudAhoy. Simply put: there is no better tool for debriefing your flights after you land. Their app runs in the background, behind your favorite aviation charting app, and collects your location, speed, heading, and altitude. After you land, the app automatically uploads this data to the cloud. Their servers analyze the flight, and within seconds you can see a debriefing report with great 2D/3D views of your flight path complete with VFR/IFR charts. You can view these debriefings via the app or a on web browser.

CloudAhoy recently updated their app to support importing GPX/KML files, so now it’s possible to record your flights with the Bad Elf GPS Pro and transfer those logs into CloudAhoy for debriefing. Here’s a flight recorded and imported by Brian, our iOS developer working on his PPL certificate:

Using the Bad Elf GPS Pro to log your flights has several advantages. You don’t have to remember to start the CloudAhoy app in the background before every flight, something I’ve done many times. The Bad Elf GPS Pro’s incredible battery life (32 hrs in datalogging mode, or 24 hours with Bluetooth enabled) allows you to record for much longer periods of time, and it won’t kill your iPad battery life. Finally, if you configure the Bad Elf GPS Pro to start logging automatically whenever you turn it on, you'll be ready to go flying with the single press of a button!

Transferring logs from the Bad Elf GPS Pro into your CloudAhoy account is very simple:
